    I just can’t get over how perfect it is that the “mouth” yolk is frowning because clearly he was trying to fry all of the eggs with yolk intact. I know when I am making breakfast I make a very similar face when I am trying to get my gooey-fried egg on.

    Those yolks are much more orange than the usual store-bought ones. They look DIY. Perhaps you got them from Mark or some other neighbor? (I find that even “free-range” co-op eggs are often pretty yellow, meaning less-flavourful and grain, not grub, raised.)

    • http://www.nathanhornby.com/ Nathan Hornby

      If you spend a couple of quid or more on 6 eggs it makes a huge difference. Apparently it’s not just about free range. The multi colour (pastel) ones I pick up from Waitrose occasionally are amazing, ignoring the novelty of the shells they have the best yolks of any eggs I’ve bought.

      I think the colour and flavour comes from the feed. I guess a free range chicken and still be given crappy food.

    I love eggs.

    And I hope you were going for sunny side up because you missed your window to flip for over easy when you left them to get the camera! ;)
